I guess the HP movie came out?

1. To the guy telling his friends how "weird" it was that "avada kedavra sounds like abracadabra!":

Yeah, welcome to two books ago. Or two movies, whatever.

2. To the kidlet in the scarf and hat:

Seriously? It's cold for summer, but it's not that cold. And England is warm some of the time. Surely you can show your fandom some other way? (Ah, well, who am I to criticize?)

3. To Donna Andrews:

Yea, verily, your books are the only murder mysteries I've ever read that reference slash, and, in the last one, snopes.com. (And not like it's some new thing the protagonist has just found out about! Will wonders never cease!) But you may want to hire a new proofreader. "Pigeon Chinese" is bad enough, but buried at the end of a book with theme naming (she needs to update that page, btw), it's... a bit much.

4. To the authors of the picture maze book I picked up for the flight:

A. Picture mazes are awesome. (They're not what you think, either.) But as for the last two... Orlando Bloom and Daniel Radcliffe? Right next to each other? Every time I close the book it's like their unrevealed faces are kissing! (Actually, that might not be such a bad thing. I'll be in my bunk now.)

Is it possibly not about fandom? I wore my cloak to both a Harry Potter movie (possibly more than one) and to Lord of the Rings. This is because my cloak is my normal cold weather garment. I really need a more midling weight cloak for when it's somewhat cold but not horribly cold, but I don't have one, so I wear the cloak. And I am often cold when others are not, because my body is just bad at heat. Maybe the kid had reason to need extra warmth. Maybe the kid had reason and thought, hey, I can make it look like I wanted it like this.

I'm still annoyed that I was once scolded for complaining that I was cold because it was summer and thus I had no right to complain of being cold, despite the fact that I was cold and I had asked nicely if we could close the window because I was cold.

I can bear a grudge for decades.

It was a HP hat and scarf set.

It's not my business caring if the kid is hot or cold, I just don't see the point if he was NOT cold (which I assume he wasn't, but I didn't ask) in making oneself uncomfortable for fandom.
